2. Heard Sri K.Aravind, learned counsel for petitioners – A1 and A2 and Sri D. Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor, appearing for respondent – State.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the prosecution case even if accepted at its highest, does not disclose the essential ingredients of abetment of suicide. What the record discloses at best is a failed personal relationship of the deceased with petitioner No.2 - A2. The sequence does not constitute the offence under Section 108 of the BNS. Suicide note is relevant but it is not a conclusive of abetment. The alleged assault at RTC Cross Roads, Hyderabad, even if it occurred is a distinct incident of alleged simple hurt-abuse. It is not proximate to the hanging at Chennaram in the early hours of 07.07.2026. After the incident, deceased travelled, met LW5-M.Ramesh, who consoled him, returned to his Village, slept at his house on 06.07.2026 and only thereafter took the extreme step. Originally the FIR is registered under Section 194 of BNS and thereafter it is altered to Section 108 read with Section 3(5) of BNS after recording the statement of LW5-M.Ramesh on 12.07.2026. Entire investigation is

completed and prayed to enlarge the petitioners - A1 and A2 on bail.

4. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor has filed the written instructions of Sub-Inspector of Police, P.S. Revally, Wanaparthy District wherein it is stated that LWs 1 to 14 are examined and also produced the suicide note.

5. M.Chennamma has lodged a report before P.S Revally on 07.07.2026. It is stated in the complaint that her second son by name Mogili Swamy went to Hyderabad saying that he want to study and prepare for a job. On 06.07.2026 at about 5:00 hours he returned home and slept in the house. Later on the same day at 9:00 hours, he informed the complainant that he is going back to Hyderabad and left the house. On 07.07.2026 at about 5:00 hours, her nephew Mogili Shekar came to her house, woke her up and informed that her son Mogili Swamy hanged himself to a tree near the Gram Panchayat Office in the Village. Mogili Shekar has took one paper from the deceased pocket which was written in the handwriting of the deceased. The written note states that he is in love with Gopala Laxmi for the past six years. Gopala

Laxmi was in love with another person. Another person has beat the deceased. Basing on the said complaint, FIR came to be registered against unknown accused for the offence under Section 194 of BNSS.

6. Petitioners-A1 and A2 are arrested and remanded to judicial custody on 26.08.2026, since then they are in jail.

7. Section of law came to be altered on 12.07.2026 after five days of the incident from Section 194 BNSS to 108 BNS.
